Overview
Unsurpassed for nearly half a century, and now with a new introduction and appendix by William P. Brown, John Bright's A History of Israel will continue to be a standard for a new generation of students of the Old Testament. This book remains a classic in the literature of theological education.
Synopsis
From a Christian perspective which takes into account new archeological data, the late author—a professor of Hebrew and interpretation of the Old Testament at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia—traces the history of Israel through the formative period of Judaism. Includes the forewords to the first and third editions (without dates), chronological charts, 16 color maps, and an introduction by a campus colleague. Indexing is by subject and Scripture reference.
